ON THE RHODES AGAIN...

FROM OUR COLORADO CORRESPONDENT, JOE RHODES,A VALUABLE VIEW AND INSIGHT ON THE RUINATION OF OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM BY OUR SOCIALIST PRESIDENT AND DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED CONGRESS.


The ONE TRILLION DOLLARS over ten years plan is to be 50 % paid for by a surtax on the on the so-called rich. Guess where the other 50% comes from??? The Denver post blithely mentioned far down in their announcing article that the other 50% would come from cuts to medicare. When are Americans going to wake up and realize that a trillion dollars is a lot of money, and we can't afford the trillions we have already committed to pay. Folks we are technically bankrupt as a nation and the pace of spending without correspondingly equal revenues is rapidly expanding!

Now won't this new "free" medical insurance coverage for all be just great! We ask the elderly to pay for a plan that pays them lesser benefits, all for the right to have to go before a board to see if some bureaucrat thinks that a procedure is necessary, and then decide if you are even worthy of the effort. Nah! You're already 70. You've had your chance at a healthy life. It's just not necessary or advisable, and besides there's someone younger who deserves the treatment more than you. Can't happen? Check out Great Britain, it's already happening there!

If you think the throngs of people waiting for "free" treatment(at your tax and medical expense costs) makes going to the emergency rooms difficult, wait until this same freeloading group can now stop going to the emergency rooms, and begin to inundate the private doctor's offices. H-m-m-m Mrs. Smith, this is July, we can work you in a few months, how's November 11, work for you. The pain and discomfort? Oh, take some Tylenol and tough it out. Can't wait to see what "free" benefit comes next. The current projection is that we have already promised $ 59, 500, 000, 000 (Yep, that's 59.5 Trillion dollars!) in unfunded entitlements. We don't have the money folks! What would you do if your bank account was empty, and all other available assets had been dissipated? Would you immediately go out and buy an expensive car, some fine art, furs and jewels??? This has to stop.

Passing on Emails will not even slow down the pace of this attempt to garner even more Federal Government control over our lives. Call and write ALL of your Senators and Representatives and strongly voice your objection to this onerous legislation. Let them know that if it passes you will actively campaign to assure that all citizens, including Congress, the Supreme Court and the President, will be under the same program, and that you will never vote for them for reelection. It's your future.

OBAMA AND HIS DEMOCRATS. A REAL CLASS ACT !!

WOW !! BARACK AND HIS CROWD REALLY BRINGS A TOUCH OF CLASS TO THE OUR NATION. YEAH..RIGHT!!! KIND OF EMBARASSING TO SEE WHAT CRAWLED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.

Ed McMahon died this week. He was a great entertainer, but prior to his stage accomplishments he was a distinguished Marine Corps fighter pilot in WWII earning six Air Medals. He was discharged in 1946 and volunteered to fly again in the Korean War. He joined the CA Air National Guard and was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General.

Farrah Fawcett died this week after a long career in Hollywood as an actress. After she was diagnosed with cancer, she became an activist for cancer treatment and devoted her last remaining years encouraging people to seek treatment. She documented her plight on film and used it to encourage others to stay positive and upbeat despite their diagnosis and suffering.

Karl Malden died this week after a long career in Hollywood as an actor. He also served in the US Air Force during WWII and also served on the US Postal Service committee to review and recommend commemorative stamps. In 2005, the US House of Representatives authorized the US Postal Service to rename a Los Angeles post office the Karl Malden Postal Station.

Michael Jackson died this week. He was perhaps one of the greatest singers of modern time. He will also be remembered for his eccentric lifestyle that included sleeping with a chimpanzee, living in a carnival-like atmosphere at Neverland, his fascination with Peter Pan, and his numerous masks and costumes. He also admitted to finding pleasure sleeping with young boys and paying out millions of dollars in settlements to the families of these boys despite being acquitted by a court on one allegation of sexual molestation.

QUESTION 1) - Which of the above did the House of Representatives declare a moment of silence for today? (Hint - It wasn't the first three)QUESTION 2) -

Which of the above's family received a personal note of condolence from President Obama? (Hint - It wasn't the first three)

Need we say more??

INTERESTING STATISTICS

There is no doubt that Barack Obama ran an extremly clever and shrewd presidential campaign. It was simple and focused and did exactly what it was planned to do. As one of the premier orators of recent time he smoothly presented a a cloud of impossible promises that appealed to the young and dumb and those who look to big government to support their inability to work in the real world or desire to be productive. His promises were nothing but smoke and fog about liberal projects that have been rejected over decades. Obama made promises to unions, illegals and their legal families as well as every other sort of grouping that has its hand out to the government. The race card did not have to be played because he was assured of between 80 and 90 percent of the black vote. His pledge to increase the size of big governments to bigger than ever he captured millions of voters who love the thought of the security of government job. It was a helluva campaign and a disaster for our freedoms and our free enterprise economy. He has embarassed us abroad and made a fool of our country in the eyes of the world.


Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law,St. Paul, Minnesota, points out facts of 2008 Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29

Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds:
"In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won by Republicans was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare.
Professor Olson believes the United States is now somewherebetween the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation'spopulation already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years

Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.From Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between, stay up-to-date with the latest news.

IF YOU VOTED FOR THIS DUMB-SH-T....IT IS NO LONGER A JOKE...

I know, and I understand, you wanted to toss a vote against the Iraq war and you thought it might be cute to show such by voting for an inexperienced, do nothing hot shot from the sewer of Chicago Democratic politics that could deliver a wonderful speech full of bullshit and unspecified change and hope and arm waving arrogance that swept you off your feet.

Well, congratulations, dipshit, you and your dumb and young cohorts have delivered to our nation one of the most dangerous cancers ever to occupy the oval office. He brought nothing except a perverted twist of our genius Constitution which he is hell=bent to destroy and he is abetted by the liberal press, the butt-sucking unions who want to do away with the secret personal ballot, the teachers union who wants to have no basis of effectiveness measurement, the blacks who judge competence by the skin color, the government employees( city, county, state, federal) who ALL want bigger government,) the illegal immigrants who want a free ride and who will be given the vote by Obama without citizenship, and finally by all the supplicants who depend upon the liberal democratic machine to buy votes by spreading the wealth of the hard working successful citizens among the opposite sector.

So far...if you are paying attention, the stimulus plan , invented by the rookie butt-head, has deliver barely 10% of of the plans money to the spent to help the crunch....and if you wonder why, do some homework and you will see that the Democrats have siphoned off 90% of the package for their own little pet projects in their own districts, whether or not it would be stimulative to the economy. Obama has given away monstrous chunks of corporations to the unions and to control of the government, SOCIALISM...THY NAME IS IS OBAMA. SHAME ON HIM AND THOSE WHO GOT SUCKED IN.!!!

FINALLY ! WISDOM PAYING OFF...

A quick survey note:

"A majority of young people still approve of Obama's job performance, but a majority of seniors over 64 now don't (54%). Maybe they'll die before the next election."

Andrew Malcolm, Los Angeles Times Web site, July 8

As I have said many times, Obama was elected by the "young and dumb" and those with their hand out. As least we can credit the older voters with getting their head out of their duffle bag before the kids have. What is good news is the the young jerks that voted for this national disaster in the Oval Office will be the ones that pay the highest price for the longest time under Socialism compared to us of the "mature" grouping.

Three of Winston Churchill's quotes apply here:

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.

If a man under 30 is not a liberal, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative after age 30 he is stupid.

WE ARE IN REAL TROUBLE !!!

And now we are stuck with one of the most enept, inexperienced and dangerous threats to our security, our economy and our democracy that we have ever faced. The fundamental talent that has carried this closet Socialist is the ability to mask his lack of ability behind his smooth and flowing bullshit and his pretense of knowing what he is doing. You must plow through the crap and recognize him for what he is....a threat to everything we have ever held dear...and that include our entire way of life. His idiotic proposals on energy, spending, health care and climate will saddle all of us and generations to come with unsustainable debt that will jerk us back into third world status and the only thing that will save us is to get his ass out of office ASAP. Join the "ONE TERM OBAMA CLUB".

ENERGY BILL IS A NATURAL DISASTER. BE HEARD ON THIS !!

" Only the United States Senate stands in the way of what the Wall Street Journal calls "the biggest tax in American history." That's because the Pelosi-led House of Representatives just strong-armed the so-called American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (also known as "Cap-and-Trade") through the House of Representatives.

According to the Heritage Foundation, this massive "national energy tax" could cost the average family "nearly 3,000 per household per year." House Minority Leader John Boehner points out that it will "put millions of Americans out of work" as American jobs are shipped overseas or lost outright. Even President Obama admitted that under "Cap-and-Trade" legislation, "electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

But that's not all. Apparently, few if any Members of the House of Representatives even bothered to read this massive "national energy tax" before voting on it. Does this sound familiar? According to Pioneer Press: "Last week, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (the 'Cap and Trade Energy Bill'), or H.R. 2454, was 946 pages long. Over the weekend, it ballooned to 1,201 pages with no explanation for how or why." Then, to add insult to injury, on the day of the vote, the Pelosi-led Congress added another 255 pages to the bill (which no one had read to begin with) at 3:00 AM (EST) and limited debate to three hours before passing this massive "national energy tax" at 7:16 PM (EST). And when Boehner tried to read some of the provisions of this bill aloud on the floor of the House, liberals in Congress tried to shut him down. "Democrats tried to shut me down as I read parts of Speaker Pelosi's national energy tax (also known as 'cap and trade') out loud on the House floor. For more than an hour I cited provisions that will destroy American jobs, raise prices for gasoline and electricity, and devastate middle-class families and small businesses," said Minority Leader Boehner. If we are going to beat this horrifying reality... if we are going to defeat "Cap and Trade," the time to act is now. "

FORWARD TO A DEMOCRAT...

Okay Dumbass....hope you are happy. You elected this Obama dingaling idiot because you did not like the way the Iraq war was going and now we are stuck with a First Class, Socialist Idealogue who will have us all paying higther taxes and higher energy costs, corporations will have increased costs so they move jobs and factories overseas, and to have a big brother government not only owning business but owning credit markets and your health care system.

GOOD JOB DUMBASS !!! At least have the huevos to understand what a horrible mistake you made and do what you can correct the blunder.

Do you want to have a good look at the type of crap we have to face with Obama's stumbling into the the climate change inititiative. Remember now, he is putting billions of more burdens on your paycheck (if you have one) to fix a problem that is a smoke and mirrors and myth...and he is doing it just to control more of the prosperity of our economy. Check it out below.

A NATION AT WAR.

The biggest sneak attack against the USA since Pearl Harbor

Thomas Jefferson, the author of The Declaration of Independence said, “The God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?”

On this 4th of July it might we worthwhile to realize that the very foundation of our country is not being threatened by Russia, Iran, Venezuela or China. It is be slowly and surely being dismantled by the election of Barack Obama, who has an agenda just the opposite of the genius's that declared our independence. His goal is to steal the wonderful self-regulating miracle of capitalism and substitute big brother government ownership and control over the wealth of our nation. He is violating every economic rule that has every been recognized as fundamental to creating wealth and prosperity. It was sickening to hear his term "shared prosperity". What he means is that the government will rob from those who prosper and share it with those who refuse to prosper.

There are no bombs falling on our cities but regardless, we are still under attack from within as long has this man is in the WhiteHouse.

Happy Fourth of July !!!
